Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 2009.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 341-354).In this thesis, we study various aspects of string theory on geometric and nongeometric backgrounds in the presence of branes. In the first part of the thesis, we study non-compact geometries. We introduce "brane tilings" which efficiently encode the gauge group, matter content and superpotential of various quiver gauge theories that arise as low-energy effective theories for D-branes probing singular non-compact Calabi-Yau spaces with toric symmetries. Brane tilings also offer a generalization of the AdS/CFT correspondence. A technique is developed which enables one to quickly ...
